Awesome Light: Watersports

This is a great light for night diving. One of the guys I dive with has already ordered one and a few others are considering buying one. It's great to have flood and spot options. One of my diving friends told me that after flashing with it, it was difficult for my eyes to adjust to his light. I can highly recommend this lamp.

Pros
  • 60 degree underwater jet and 12 degree spot jet angle; tested for accuracy in water
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Excellent customer service!

Very good value! Item arrived in good condition and works great. When I received this order it accidentally came with a pistol grip instead of the expected strap. I contacted the seller and a few hours later I got an answer that they would fix everything and send me the strap immediately. Very good customer service - it was a pleasure working with them.

Pros
  • No flooding with factory sealed body; Depth to 300 feet
Cons
  • Available in black only

as well as how well it sits on the wrist.

This flashlight is expensive but worth the money. I noticed a friend of mine was using one while we were diving in Monterey, California and couldn't help but notice how bright and compact the flashlight was and how well it fit on my wrist. I bought this from Revain and took it to Palau and was very happy with its performance, ease of use when diving as well as its compact size and the fact that your fingers don't get in the way of other gear, super bright with multiple backlight and spotโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Factory-sealed design with external charging ports for reliable flood protection; Depth to 100 m (330 ft)
Cons
  • Zero

Excellent dive light

Excellent light when immersed. Excellent burn time. Underwater, this is probably one of the best flashlights in terms of visibility. I don't like the indicators - the LED is green, amber, red, blinking which should be fine, except I found it to be under 75% amber to be distracting - I think it should go up to 50 % be green and then change colors. He's also finicky as it's all about charging and maintenance. They must remain charged at all times between dives or the battery will drain. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Supplied with ballistic wrist strap; optional camera or video mounts available
Cons
  • Quality

Excellent main light

Bought as a main light instead of a canister. The only downside is the battery life, but I've used the 400 lumen setting more often, which lasts around 2 hours. The wide angle beam is excellent - an even white light that really illuminates wrecks and other overhead areas. The headlight alignment isn't that good - more of a yellow beam. The hand sock works well and is comfortable enough. The only thing I would advise the manufacturer is to change the battery charge visual settings - instead ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Rechargeable lithium ion battery lasts up to 270 minutes on low power
Cons
  • Clarity

You brighten up my life and this slug.

I used this Sola dive light on a recent trip to Ambon, Indonesia and was very happy with it. Instead of investing in an expensive and bulky underwater strobe, I got it with a wrist strap and just angled my arm for optimal lighting. (Please don't attempt this unless you have very good buoyancy and are falling on the reef and your subject!) The flashlight held its charge fairly well, with around 2+ hours of almost continuous use on medium to high settings. Although this diving light is not cheap,

Pros
  • FL-1 certified 800 lumen headlight and 500 lumen headlight; adjustable power so light doesn't dim
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Great flashlights, although we had quality control issues

Edit: Light & Motion took good care of us and fixed the broken flashlight/replaced the charger for $0. In the two years that have passed since then, both have been steadfast. I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 to reflect the great customer service and reliability of both devices since then. --- One of the two gets five stars. The second gets one. I chose average for this rating. We had one of them about two years and the other about a year. The first still works, but the second stoppedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ultra-compact and light (285 grams); extremely bright 2-mode dive light (800 lumen flood and 500 lumen spotlight); 3 power settings per mode; perfect for travel
